Piophilid - Prochyliza xanthostoma
Ames, Story County, Iowa, USA
March 24, 2007
Size: 3mm
found on decayed deer carcass... dozens scurrying around... though oddly, couldn't see any maggots... also odd, this is only the second pic of this group; apparently our contributors have an aversion to poking around dead animals
